Fruitful Errands

Adam enjoyed the fruits of the the Farmer's Market today. After running errands, fresh peaches were a welcome snack. He claimed one of the ears of corn and hauled it around with him for quite a while. Why don't all trips taste this good?

Wanna Share?

Adam enjoyed his first graham cracker. He was even generous enough to want to share with Mommy.

Dinner in Bed

Too Messy!

Breakfast of Champions

Mine

Adam is so very anxious to explore his world and do what he sees Daddy and Mommy do. Last night, as Daddy handed Mommy a cookie, Adam reached out and intercepted it. He devoured that gingersnap. Tonight when we pulled burritos out of the freezer he decided he needed one package and all. He is beginning to lay his claim on what this world has to offer.

Tables of Fun

Today was a full day for Adam.

Adam and Mommy went out to lunch with Grandma Vanessa and Aunt Caitlin to celebrate Grandma's birthday. He enjoyed seeing them. Adam loves interacting with people especially his people. He had his first taste of Olive Garden bread sticks, and was sold on them. He covered his clothes with a gooey teething biscuit, then covered Mommy and Aunt Caitlin with water from Aunt Caitie's glass.

This evening we went over to Garrett and Molly Summers home. He was happy to see Wesley and Liam. He gave both of them hugs upon our arrival. We had an Easter Family Home Evening, egg hunt, and dinner together. Adam found three eggs, and got to experience his first gold fish cracker. We all enjoyed our visit.

We are grateful for good people who fill our lives, and our tummies.

Eating Out

Adam accompanied us on a date tonight. He sampled the frozen yogurt, kids menu, and corn bread. When the corn bread touched his tongue he scrunched up his face and spit it out. He'll stick to dessert and menus for now.

Fame and Yogurt

Adam has learned to pose for the camera. We have taken at least one picture of him daily. Today he got his six month portraits taken at the Picture People studio. The pictures turned out so well that the photographer asked us to fill out a model release. His pictures will hang on the wall in their studio. The portraits were good, but we think that a yogurt mustache is in its own class.

Please, Sir, I Want Some More

In honor of Adam's six month birthday he got yogurt for the very first time. This is his first dairy product (of many to come.) He clearly enjoyed the yogurt, but every time we tried to capture the moment he changed expression.
These past six months have been filled with joy and awe. We are very grateful that this special little guy is a part of our forever family. We look forward to many more birthday celebrations and discoveries with him.

Slimy Green Gopher Guts

Hungry? Adam would be happy to share.

Pie

Adam helped Mommy make pies today. Mommy had a pie themed recipe exchange tonight. So they tried out a new recipe, Chocolate Orange Fudge Pie. It was a hit. Thanks for your help, Adam!

Picnic in the Park

Today we had our first picnic as a family of three. The weather was holding out, and we could not pass up the opportunity. During Daddy's lunch break we went to Edsall Park. We enjoyed the warmth. Adam even got to ride his first horse. Well OK, rocking horse.

Eliminating The Middle-Man

Adam decided there was a more efficient way of eating his breakfast. Mommy had been spoon feeding him, when he suddenly grabbed the squash dish with both hands. Perhaps that is why f-a-s-t is in breakfast.

Asparagus Extravaganza

Tonight Adam feasted on pureed asparagus. It was his first time eating in his new highchair, which was given to him by friends from church. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It has become his habit to wipe his face with his bib. Adam likes to dig right in, but makes no delay in cleaning up when he's finished. It is so cute to watch his budding personality emerge.

This Is A Spoon

The long awaited day finally arrived. Adam had his very first baby cereal this evening. He took to the spoon quickly and was more than willing to eat this new food. It is fun to watch his excitement as he discovers his world. Just wait baby, the fun has just begun.

After all that hard work, Adam zonked out.

I Want Some Too

For dinner tonight we had Hawaiian haystacks. They must have looked good to Adam. He reached up and took a fistfull off Mommy's plate, and quickly moved his hand towards his mouth. He was quite pleased with his new accomplishment. Mommy was still faster. She removed chow mein noodles, rice, and a piece of chicken from his little fist before he had a chance to feast. He decided to skip the rice cereal step and go straight to rice and meat.

Adam's contraband.
